GEORGIA MELONS BRING $762.50 A CAR (Apreston News Service) ADEL, GA., July 6. The best price that Negro melon growers of Georgia have been able to obtain is said to be $25.00 per car load, while white melon growers are able to get as high as $762.50 per car load for many melons. It is said that the white men have formed a melon growers' association to which Negro cannot belong. Negro planters are forced to sell their melons to individual members of the association or to commission merchants who offer them practically nothing for their crop. Several weeks ago a group of Negro planters attempted to make connections with commission merchants in Pittsburgh, Pa., offering to sell them the melons at $25.00 a car l. o. b anywhere in Georgia. If this connection can be made, it is possible that better prices will be obtained. It is said that Pittsburgh merchants were afraid of the melons because of the low price at which they were offered. 30 minutes with his masterly address setting forth new plans for the work.

ARE YOU AWARE? That the Fourth is over and so far as we know no one of our group has had an accident. Was it due to the fact that our people have more sense than the other folks? No, it was because they have less Cents. That little William Charles Price, who is one of the younger students of the Coleridge Taylor Conservatory of Music, is very anxious for Miss Sims to start him on the "automatic" (chromatic scale? That Mr. Thompson, also a student of Miss Sims, who assisted in the recital last Monday evening at St. Paul A. M. E. Church, is in our knowledge, the only young man of our group, who is doing anything with piano music? That one of the most promising and enthusiastic organizations ever started in Wichita is the New Music Club, which is only a few weeks old? It not only promises to promote and raise a standard for the best in music; but also its constituency have pledge themselves to real systematic study, which is the only way to accomplish anything for good. This Club shall be known as the "Music Lovers' Studv Club." One looking at this name I am sure, will be impressed by its deep significance. We have been constantly reminded of Wichita's ability to start things, and plainly enough, because so many things started have died, we are all well aware of the fact that Wichita has a greater artistic ability to "stop" than to "start." However, this Club saves: "Watch our smoke." That the best evidence of success is to have succeeded. Mr Morgan.Robinson and family have succeeded so well that they are back in the city at home, for good" at 1061 Ohio. This paper has nothing more or less than encouragement for all the people all the time especially its valued subscribers. The editor of this column wishes to thank those who have given constructive criticisms, suggestions, and material for R. U. Aware. Keep up the good work. STUDIO DOINGS The recital at St. Paul A. M. E. Clairmont last Monday evening was an inspiration to all. Misses Martha Penn, Louise Robinson, and Mr. Fellinand Thompson who were the players for the evening, reflected much redit on their teacher, Miss Sims, who presented each player with assorted carnations after the program. The contrasting number for the evening was an Etude played by Little Charlene Thornton, 5 years old. She has had only 3 lessons. This was our first effort to raise money for the New Conservatory and we very thoroughly appreciate the kindness of Rev. Pope' and officers, who donated the church and gave us our 1st start towards the building. We shall remember St. Paul in the writing of our history. Four new students enrolled for Piano this week.

Gibson. There was not a building in Hot Springs, large enough to hold the large delegation, hence the Rosnoke Baptist Church, with its large Auditorium, and the Haven M. E. Church were both used. The meeting opened at 7:30 with song service, led by E. W. D. Isaac, Junior, and a chorus of 100 voices. The Rev. Dr. J. W.

It started with the usual Departmental Meeting, and the coming together of the whole Congress at 9:30 in Roanoke Baptist Church. The praise service lasted fully 30 minutes. The first address was delivered by the Rev. J. T. Brown, Editorial Secretary of the Sunday School Literature. He discussed "Religious Education." He was followed by the Rev. W. P. M.

While Miss Lucile Jones took dinner with Miss Irene Woodard, last Monday, it was the desire of her little sisters and brothers to surprise her, so they got busy with Mondames Jewel Brown and L. C. McCullough assolating, before she could return, and one of the most unique affairs of the season. About twenty-five friends of the family responded to the request of the children and came with gifts to make ready the future bride, which will only be a few days away. The value of the gifts and interest of the givers proved love and worth of the girl. It was such a surprise to Miss Jones until when the lights were flashed on she fell to the floor and wept and it was quite a while before she came to herself. The guests complimented how artistic and complete were the arrangements; and they are now looking forward to the day when two shall be as one. of Nashville, Tenn., was the next speaker.

During which time, he had 27 doctors. He spoke in terms of praise of those who had assisted him; paying a high tribute to his faithful wife who had been by his side during his affliction. In this connection, he made an appeal to the men to the men to take their wives into their confidence. He spoke of many cases where valuable homes, and life long accumulations had passed out of the hands of the widow, after the death of her husband, because he had failed to tell his wife of his affairs. He concluded his address in the midst of an enthusiastic ovation. Dr. W. L. Craft, Field Secretary of the B. Y. P. U. Board called attention to the great work that had been accomplished by Dr. Cannon, and since the President had been sick so long, he thought that some expression should be given without a song; without any talk the delegates placed on the table $151.25.

"Christian Education" was discussed by Rev. J. T. Brown. He said, "We believe that Christian Education is the first thing that the home ought to give, because Christian Education is being broken down by the lack of command; therefore I believe that it should be the duty of the parents to send their children to Sunday School as well as to day school to get that training which will lead them Heavenward. In the plan of redemption, Christ is Five Cents Per Copy We had good service all day at New Hope Baptist Church. S. S. at 9:45 with good attendant. Prayer service 30 minutes.

After an illness of several weeks' duration the Supreme Counsellor saw fit to send death to call Mrs. Larry Ann Wilson from labor unto reward; death having occurred at 6:20 o'clock Tuesday evening June 19, at her home 423 3rd Avenue, due to complication of diseases. She was born Sept. 17, 1859 in Saline County in the State of Kentucky, and had been a resident of this city for a number of years; passed away at the age of 64 years. When in her youth she professed religion and became a member of the great C. M. E. Church body, and up to her death she had been a profound Christian and an ardent church worker. When still very young she joined hands in marriage with her husband Rev. A. D. Wilson, a minister in the C. M. E. Church Conference. Rev. Wilson and his deceased wife were schoolmates in their childhood days and they were a greatly devoted husband and wife; and lived a happy married life until death did part. Mrs. Wilson lived the life, day by day, she endeavored to follow in Jesus' footsteps: day by day, she strove to let her light so shine that the world might see by her wars and actions that she had been with Jesus and learned of His ways, this the world knew. Her mission seemed to have been that of taking care of the sick and being of aid and assistance around the sick room. Any night she would willingly go and sit up all night with those who were sick.

We are glad to say that this question has been anticipated and the answer is now presented to us by a new organization of our business men, under the management of Mr. Leo, Frame. Lack of accommodation and discriminations have hitherto harred the pleasures of our vacation trips, and these are the unpleasantnesses that the Pioneer Stage Line Company have figured a way to successfully overcome. The company plans to start three cars on or about the 15th of June, and will tour through Colorado Springs, Denver, Estes Park, Ro ky Mountain, National Park and the Yellowstone National Park. The trip will consume about twenty days and the round trip transportation includes all expenses for passengers except their food. Plenty, of time has been figured for fishing, biking, and sight-seeing; so there will be absolutely nothing for the tourist to worry about. The company will willingly extend the time of the trip to suit the convenience of passengers, majority ruling, and of course with reasonable, additional renumeration. Cars will be starting simultaneously from Kansas City, Wichita, and Oklahoma City, and persons who are interested are advised to begin organizing parties now. This is a most progressive movement on the part of the men of our race, and we are certainly glad to congratulate the heads of this enterprise and there's wishing the new company much success.

IT IS NOT LIKE THE GOLDEN DREAM of those who hope for Republican success in 1924 to realize that the great President of the United States has passed through Kansas without having a slight message to the many Negro voters of the Commonwealth and without having had a single Negro to greet him as a member of a Republican Reception Committee. Slow but sure, the Negro in political circles is setting up and taking notice and it may be that Warren will find it necessary to do much BIG TALK to the race in 1924, AND THEN SOME. It is not enough to be favorably known and courted only during election periods. --- NO MAN IS FITTED TO LEAD in the affairs of a race as the man who has learned,well to manage his own affair. One evil ever present in the Negro Race is that it has a group of mushroom leaders forever dictating the trend of racial affairs who throughout the entire period of their lives have not been able to successfully dictate an individual policy sufficient to place them on speaking terms with the average banking house, and who have developed into perfect trock men fleeing from their many creditors. IF THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE would spend one-half as much precious time in thinking and acting on matters for the general advancement of the race as they do in trying to determine the business of other people and dictate their line of action, this race would long since have been leading in many affairs of the country. Moral Gossip breeds contempt; contempt, malice, and sometimes leads far away into fields of heated contest. TO GO BACK AND FRO TO Religious Conventions is to assume a vast responsibility for God and Humanity in helping to find ways empire of THE CHRISTIAN and means to promote the glorious CHURCH and remedy the many ills now troubling this world. The time ought not to be employed other than in definite hard study and work and the messenger or delegate failing in such, betrays a trust reposed by the members of his church organization. All news for publication must reach this office on Wednesday or it is too late for that week and will without doubt have to come out in next issue. We cannot get the paper to you on Friday when the news reach us on Thursday. THE GLORY OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP is that it affords some rights which have never been questioned to the individual except by bean heads, inclined to live upon the mess of ordinary gossip and mingle with the lower specie of scandal hogs. Among such rights may be found the rights of happiness which under proper conditions permit an individual to walk where he or she may desire on a public road without question and with whom they may desire in accordance with their own particular business. It is delighting to know that all common courts are constituted to protect such rights of the individual. FIRST STEPS have made which will give Wichita a colored Hospital. Fredrick Douglass Hospital may be made to stand as one of the high signs of Wichita's progressive colored element; PROVIDED Deaires for personal honor, petty jealousy, and a general hampering for leading position does not enter into the affairs of hospital association. The race as a whole and especially its leaders must soon or lately learn the one vital lesson of racial progress; namely; that there are something which to be successfully promoted must belong to the whole race. Mi Lady in the salon and Marv in the kitchen. His mightiest, the race leader and Jork in dirty overalls down in the ditch. The hospital to be highly successful must be absolutely free from the burden of sectarian influence with an efficient medical staff free from the dictations of the masses but governed by the logical mind of those best fitted to aid them in solving the many problems which enter into general hospital work. The Frederick Douglass Hospital Association Wichita's Latest racial movement for the present, headed by Dr. H. T. Geeder is welcomed.
